Come back. Come back to me.

Let's say this film is not one of my favourites, maybe because I have not read the book yet, I want to read it, though.
I've only watched this film three times against the ten twenty times I might have seen "Pride & Prejudice". But one of the things I really love about this film are the colors.

Two colors.

Green.

Green at the beginning. Green is the dress that wears Keira Knightley (Cecilia in the movie).

Also, for me green means hope and nature. In some way I think they choose green to that scene because they wanted so show their natural feelings, Cecilia and Robbie feelings, and because he is a gardener and she finally opens up to him.

Notice the red apple. Sin. Things are getting complicated.

Red.

This can be connected with red that means passion, but also blood and physical pain, when after that life of "hope" he goes to war.

Like I said, I've only seen this movie twice and all I remember is that dress and that poppies field when he is thinking about his coming back, thinking of her.

Cream yellow.

There are other colors, though. Cream yellow/straw. This one is the color of the child, Briony. Fresh and innocent that become darker during the movie because of the inside pain, the atonement.

Past & present. Two people. Atonement.

Blue.
Peace color.


Quiet.


Ending.

Totally recommended movie, plus Dario Marianelly soundtrack. Wonderful actors. I think I'll re-watch the film one of these days.
